Plot The spread of a new strain of coronavirus “omicron”
The current epidemiological situation associated with the spread of the Omicron strain allows us to talk about the mitigation of a number of requirements and methodological recommendations for the prevention of COVID-19, said the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova.
“Today we can talk, taking into account the dynamics, taking into account the forecast made by our scientists and experts, about softening a number of requirements, about softening a number of methodological recommendations at the onset of a period of, so to speak, epidemiological remission in the Russian Federation,” she said at a meeting of the presidium of the coordinating council under the government of the Russian Federation to combat coronavirus infection.
The chief sanitary Doctor of Russia explained that the preventive measures that were relevant one and two years ago, with the dominance of a new strain, can be revised.
In particular, we are talking about softening the recommendations for the prevention of coronavirus in catering establishments, cultural institutions, fitness centers. In addition, the requirement to conduct training sessions for schoolchildren in the same class may be abolished.
“Of course, we are reviewing and preparing materials for such changes… Once again I want to make a reservation — only for the situation that is developing today, and which is related to the omicron option,— Popova added.
Recall that in recent weeks, several regions have relaxed anti-bullying restrictions, including partially or completely canceled QR codes.
